Changing the Default MIME Type

When a document is sent to a client, the server includes a section that
identifies the document’s type, so the client can present the document
in the right way. However, sometimes the server can’t determine the
proper type for the document because the document’s extension is not
defined for the server. In those cases, a default value is sent.

The default is usually text/plain, but you should set it to the type
of file most commonly stored on your server. Some common MIME types include
the following:

text/plain

text/html

text/richtext

image/tiff

image/jpeg

image/gif

application/x-tar

application/postscript

application/x-gzip

audio/basic

To Change the Default MIME Type

Click the Configurations tab and select the configuration needed.

Click the Virtual Servers tab
to get the list of configured virtual servers for the selected configuration.

You need not
create a separate MIME types file for each virtual server. Instead, you can
create as many MIME types files as you require and associate them with a virtual
server. By default, one MIME types file (mime.types) exists on the server
and cannot be deleted.
